Description Victor Sudakov 2017-07-12 01:37:45 UTC 
"pkg delete -a" is supposed to delete all packages except itself. Instead, pkg 1.10.1 stops halfway, informs that it won't delete itself (which is correct) and leaves a bunch of packages still installed (which is IMHO incorrect).

How to reproduce. You'd need many packages installed.

pkg install x11/gnome3 x11/xorg
pkg delete -a

Workaround:

pkg delete -af ; pkg install -y pkg

Bugzilla 219979 reports this already: This is a
duplicate. 220028 was also a duplicate and was
classified as such earlier.

Various people are running into this in various
contexts and reporting it.
